About this book

Henry H. Snelling wrote this 1849 New York manual for beginners in the daguerreotype and related ways of making pictures by light. It opens with a short history of the art and an account of light, then moves to apparatus, the daguerreotype process on metal plates, etching and coloring plates, and paper processes such as photogenic drawing, calotype and cyanotype. A last chapter describes the photographometer. The author holds that American methods on metal plates beat English ones, and he leans on English writers for the work on paper.
